Subject: [trinity-users] Running GUI programs as root in 14
In the absence of kdesu, or tdesu, how do you run eg KWrite or Konqueror as
root in 14 on Debian? Even gksu seems still to be missing this time.

Hi Lisi,
I'm not on a Debian setup right now, but depending of the distro, one of the following
command should work in Konsole:
On PCLinuxOS (if I remember well it works this way on Deb too):
su
(type your password)
(type the name of the app you want to launch as root)
exit (to quit super-user mode)
On Ubuntu:
sudo ((type the name of the app you want to launch)
(type your password)
It is not the same command on every distro, but it is most of the time combinations of su
and sudo.
Anyway you should be able to find easily a package with a name similar to tdesu or tdesudo
in Synaptic (my preferred one) or any package manager app. Or sometimes the name of the
app has changed to trinity-(the name of the app).
Hope it helps!
